Prijedlog za mirno rješenje problema trovanja mačaka na Hvaru.

Uvod: Imidž turističke destinacije ovisi o više faktora, među njima ponašanje građana prema životinjama. Više od godinu dana neki ljudi u Hvaru bez milosti truju i ubiju mačke u Gradu Hvaru, bez obzira na imidž njihovog mjesta, a gosti su otišli zbog stravičnih prizora mrtvih mačaka koji plutaju u moru gdje ljudi se kupaju. I u drugim mjestima na Hvaru ljudi znaju otrovati mačke.

Zašto spasiti mačke? Imidž mjesta nije jedini niti glavni razlog za tražiti način na kojem se može zaustaviti ubijanje mačaka. Mačke su korisne životinje: love miševe, štakore, zmije i druge štetnike. U pravim uvjetima su samostalne i čiste.

Razumije se da nismo svi isti, nismo svi ljubitelji životinja. U društvu moramo živjeti mirno zajedno, i moramo poštivati zakone: ubijanje i zlostavljanje životinja po Članku 205. Kaznenog zakona (NN 125/2011.) su kaznena djela.

Nije prihvatljivo da vlasnici mačaka pate zbog mučenja i gubitaka svojih ljubimaca; da gosti, pogotovo djeca, vide grozne prizore mačaka u mukama; da interesi iznajmljivača budu ugroženi zbog ilegalnog djelovanja nekih ljudi; da policija, lokalne zajednice i pojedinci moraju izgubiti vrijeme, resurse (i živce) da bi spriječili akcije ubijanja, skupili dokaze i dignuli tužbe protiv osumnjičenih.

Zašto ljudi njih ubiju? Neki ljudi mrze životinje, često bez posebnog razloga. Nekima smetaju neke navike kod divljih zapuštenih mačaka, naime nekontrolirano parenje; galama kad mužjaci se tuku zbog ženki; i smrad od izmeta.

Projekt za spašavanje mačaka

Glavne točke:

1. Program sterilizacije mačaka. Taj program već funkcionira na Hvaru - i neke mačke koje su otrovane u Gradu Hvaru zadnjih mjeseci su bile sterilizirane, šta je veća šteta.

2. Stvoriti hranilišta za mačke na više mjesta, uz mjesta za nuždu (pjesak, zemlja u kutijama ako nema prirodnog mjesta).

3. Dati poticaj firmama i ljudima koji sudjeluju u projektu.

4. Voditi kampanju edukacije za mlade i odrasle, kako se može i mora brinuti za životinje, i zašto.

5. Dati do znanja preko plakata i obavijesti da lokalne vlasti će sudjelovati u akcijama za dovesti okrivljenike na sud ako krše zakon i muče ili ubiju mačke.

6. Izabrati slogan i/ili logo za projekt

Kako će projekt funkcionirati?

1. Program sterilizacije će se nastaviti: u početku projekta bi moglo biti veći broj mačaka za operaciju, jer bi bilo lakše uhvatiti ulične mačke.

2. Lokalna vlast će izabrati mjesta za hranilišta, i će biti odgovorna za čištoće tih lokacija, uz pomoć Udruga te pojedinaca prijatelja životinja.

3. Financiranje će biti uglavnom preko donacija i sponzorstvo: npr. novčane donacije će ići preko proračuna lokalne vlasti, i / ili u poseban račun kod Udruga za životinje; firme, pogotovo dučani, mogu donirati mačiju hranu; u dučanima, mogu biti kutije za donacije hrane u kojim kupci mogu ostaviti suhu hranu ili konzerve.

4. Svi zainteresirani koji hoće promovirati svoje mjesto na najbolji način će moći sudjelovati u projektu, npr. hoteli, restorani, kafići, barovi, turističke agencije itd., uz naravno pojedince. Svi koji su pružili dokazanu pomoć projektu bi mogli dobiti posebno priznanje za rad u navedenoj godini, npr. kad se slavi Dan grada ili Dan općine.

5. Kampanja edukacije bi mogla biti kroz radionice i volonterski rad sa uličnim mačkama.

6. Lokalne vlasti će staviti reklame u javnim prostorima i na internetu, naime na portalima i Facebook stranici.

7. Slogan / logo bi mogli biti predmet natječaja po školama.

8. U svakom mjestu gdje će projekt biti proveden, lokalna vlast će stvoriti upravni odbor za voditi akcije.

  • Almost every child, including those from high-income countries, is now exposed to at least one hazard

    Half of the world’s children are exposed to at least three overlapping climate hazards threatening their health, education and survival, according to a Unicef report.

    Globally, children face increasing threats from heatwaves, storms, floods and droughts as the climate crisis worsens, with more than one billion facing at least three of these at once.

  • Tech is helping to identify and save new specimens and could open ‘genomic goldmine’ of fungi data

    The rise of AI and digitisation could be a turning point in the “race against extinction” faced by botanists trying to identify and save vital plants before they vanish, according to a major report from Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

    New technology is enabling scientists to track how flowering times have shifted by weeks around the world, rapidly identify new specimens and even get crucial genetic data from 180-year-old fungus specimens, potentially opening a “genomic goldmine”. Digitisation and online access to millions of specimens that were until now only accessible in archives is also producing new insights, especially in the global south.

  • The short-tailed roundleaf bat was feared extinct until scientist Iroro Tanshi found one in Afi sanctuary in Nigeria, and set out to protect the only confirmed roosting colony

    Just after sunrise, a cacophony of whoops and chatter can be heard over the verdant forests of the Afi mountain wildlife sanctuary. Nestled within the Cross River rainforest in south-east Nigeria, and spanning an area about the size of central Paris, the steep sanctuary is a haven for endangered gorillas, drill monkeys, the grey-necked rockfowl – and the short-tailed roundleaf bat.

    The Nigerian biologist Iroro Tanshi remembers the moment she first spotted the endangered bat in 2016, during a field expedition for her PhD research. “We were trapping near a roost that night, so we caught a lot of bats,” says Tanshi. But, she adds: “This looked very, very different. Big-eared.” She promptly turned to her identification guide, which revealed that the tiny furry creature she was holding between her fingers was Hipposideros curtus, better known as the short-tailed roundleaf bat, last recorded in the wild in the 1970s.

  • Thinktank says decoupling electricity from gas prices has also helped shield Spain from hikes caused by Iran war

    Spanish households save €10 a month on electricity bills because of wind turbines and solar panels installed in the last five years, a report has found.

    Typical energy bills would be 19% more expensive if electricity costs were still as tightly coupled to gas prices as in 2021, according to Ember, a climate thinktank. It found Spain’s “strategic” expansion of renewables since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 has shielded Spanish households from the latest rises in fossil fuel prices caused by the Iran war.

  • Wharfedale, Yorkshire: On the trail of a wood warbler, I find a suite of woodland plants rising up from a fascinating land formation – limestone pavement

    Grass Wood is a magnificent fragment of ancient woodland owned and exceptionally well managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. It is home to some lovely plants, including lily of the valley and herb paris. What became my defining revelation about the place and, in truth, about this whole area was down to a wood warbler.

    It is among my favourite birds, so getting to see the individual singing just off the trail required me to enter the trees, rise up a short bank, and then sit for a long time on a rocky ledge. Slowly it dawned on me that the platform on which I rested, while carpeted in moss, was also incised into a tessellated pattern. From these narrow cracks in the limestone arose a suite of woodland plants. It was dense with ash seedlings, ferns and sedges, as well as linear thickets of dog’s mercury, but there – unmistakably where my hand rested – were strips of flowering herb paris.

  • Amid fears the wreck will be more accessible to explorers – and new species – as the climate warms, conservationists want to create the region’s first underwater protected area

    The harsh temperatures, treacherous currents and shifting pack ice of the Antarctic’s Weddell Sea, which crushed and sank his ship, Endurance, in 1915, led Ernest Shackleton to describe it as the “worst portion of the worst sea in the world”.

    For more than a century, the inhospitable conditions, which present a challenge even for modern icebreaker ships, helped to protect the lost wreck, which was discovered in 2022, its structure still largely intact.

  • Charging industry and electric vehicle manufacturers say measure could cost jobs and harm UK automotive sector

    The UK government’s plans to further weaken electric car targets have provoked a furious backlash from the charging industry and the electric car brand Polestar, which would lose out from the changes.

    The government is expected to dilute rules known as the zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate. Government sources have said it will reduce a target for pure electric cars from 80% of all sales by 2030 to 50%.

  • Residents of West Oakland, which suffers from toxic waste and high pollution rates, rally against a coal export facility

    West Oakland, a California neighborhood known for its rich history of Black activism from the Pullman Porters’ union to the Black Panthers, might not seem like the site of the country’s next great coal project.

    But that’s exactly what the Trump administration is pushing for – with the injection of $75m to build a sprawling coal export terminal in the nearby port of Oakland.

    Under a clear blue sky on a Monday morning, Coogee beach in Sydney’s east is quiet.

    A few swimmers have ventured into the ocean pools at the northern and southern ends of the beach. Most others sit on the sand, looking towards the water.

  • Activists argue business model is ‘plantation tourism’ designed to benefit elite and disadvantage most Jamaicans

    Devon Taylor remembers when the Mammee Bay shoreline in St Ann, Jamaica, was filled with children frolicking in the ocean after school, fishers haggling with locals over the price of their daily catch and craft vendors carving souvenirs under almond trees.

    “I grew up on Mammee Bay,” Taylor says. He recalls fetching seawater in bottles for his grandmother when she was no longer able to go to the beach, learning to swim in the shallows, and watching generations of fishers cast their nets. “That beach raised us. It fed us.”
